As
you are aware, any individual that works with (including Research Corp,
Mountaineer Temps, Student Workers, and County Staff) or volunteers
with WVU Extension in WVU Sponsored programs, must complete Title IX
training. To help achieve this objective we will be offering an in person
and on line Title IX training at WVU Jackson’s Mill on Monday, March 13th
from 10am- 12pm. Additionally, lunch will be provided for all
attending. If you cannot attend in person, you are welcome to participate
in the live stream at the same time. Please use the registration link
below for in person and on line attendance. All attendees must use the
link below in order to receive credit for the training. If you need
accommodations the night before at Jackson’s Mill please make these
reservations directly by calling 304-269-5100. Cost for lodging will be
on your own.

Anyone,
either volunteer or paid employee can attend this training. If you are
attending on line, you will be sent the link for the live stream before the
sessions begins.

Since
the training is mandated, you be will be provided a method to verify your attendance
and the attendance of those volunteering in your programs.

Additional
trainings are planned and I will be sending those dates in a separate
email. If you attended the training at camping in service, or have
attended one of the events with the DEI trainers, you do not have to attend
again.
